Cowley was on WSCR this morning talking about the Uribe chant (that he does for himself) It was absolutely hysterical. Joe said to watch his mouth in the dugout next time after he goes deep, he'll be doing the oooh oooh Uribeeeee chant. I want somebody from the Sox to tape him doing it and play it on the Jumbotron with some loud oooh oooh audio booming through the stadium.

That interview with Cowley was pretty funny, talking about how Griffey was trying to figure out Uribe when he first got here. And the part about asking Uribe who name his teammates from the 2005 team: "white guy"

You could hear it after he hit his homerun in Oakland last week.

Although, it sounded like someone was yelling "oooh!" and the other guys were yelling "ribe!"

I really want to see it on the Jumbotron. I would film it by starting off with a black screen with just the audio on, starting soft... "ooh oooh" then getting louder "OOOOH OOOOOH" then an extreme close up of Juans face mouthing the final "OOOOOOOH URIIIIBEEEEEEEEEE"

I'm thinking about when Baines used to be here and they would put HAR ROLD on the scoreboard.

I heard that on the WSCR this morning and almost pissed my pants. I want to hear that everytime he comes to the plate. That should be his AB music. I want to hear more about Uribe now! He sounds hilarious. Buehrle is Bailey and Jermaine Dye is white guy. Oh that is tooooo much!!

"What's his name?" *Points to JD...

"White guy"

:rolling::rolling::rolling::rolling:

Too bad Carl Everett wasn't there when they did this.

If Juan played for the Indians, his war cry would be a good advertising tool.

I heard that live as well and was thinking how do we translate that into the stands, then i thought maybe its best kept as a team thing.

Either way its cool to hear the inside scoop on some of this kind of stuff.

Im digging Mully and handly. Ive stopped listening to M&M now since North was shown the door.

As each day passes since he's started playing again, I want him around for a long time. He can play such a stellar defense, but it's his personality and effect on the clubhouse that is key to this team.

Edit: I still want to hear the Alexei interview, but it still is not working.

So wait a minute. 95% of the time you guys think the guy doesn't even deserve to stand on the field in a White Sox uniform and now you want his chant to be on the scoreboard? You people are insane.

Everybody likes the player who's doing well, no matter how bad he was before.

It seems like whenever Uribe plays 3rd base, he's better at the plate. He's up to a .240 average now with a .300 OBP. He hasn't done that for a couple of years!

Remember back in 04, when Uribe was one of the best offensive 2B in baseball? Yeah, he also played 27 games at 3B that year.

It is a small sample size (much smaller than his time at 2B and SS), but he tends to hit better while playing 3B. He's a .250 hitter at both 2B and SS. I guess he feels more important at a corner position...?

A bunch of the guys were doing this chant in one of the clubhouse celebrations in '05 around Juan.

Konerko05

After he hit the homerun Sunday, several players were waiting for him by the stairs. As he was approaching the dugout, Swisher would start with the OOOOOOH and the rest of the players would follow the RIBEEE.

You can also notice Juan walking through the dugout going OOOOH OOOOH OOOOOH OOOOH. It is hilarious.

I even heard Cooper scream OOOOOH!! when trying to get Uribe's attention to congratulate him. He seems like a really good guy that all the other players enjoy.

Why shouldn't fans be happy when one of their team's players is playing well? He is contributing to us going to the playoffs right now. I'm certainly not going to root against it. I don't see a problem with it. Plus fans always enjoy stories of players having fun in the dugout.

One of my favorite Sox memories is getting tickets in the Club level for the first Red Sox playoff game in '05 and midway through the slaughter, a bunch of Latino Sox fans started singing "One Run Uribe!" to the tune of "Guantanamera". Awesome... :D:

Oh I am totally happy that Juan is such a presence in the clubhouse, but you guys are acting like he has been #1 in your life since he joined the team. I just want everyone to stop being farweather fans.

Sample from Uribe in the Cradle:

Uribe played SS just the other year, he said thanks for the ball, fans, come on lets play. Can you cheer me when I throw? The fans said "Not today, I got alot of players to cheer for" Uribe said thats ok.
And as he walked away, his smile never dimmed and said:
"I'm going to be like those fans, yeah, you know Im going to be like those fans"

He came to the dugout from hitting a HR, So much like an all-star I just had to say, "Uribe I'm proud of you, Can you sit for a while? He shook his head, and said with a smile, "What I'd really like, fans, is to borrow the car keys, see ya later can I have them please??"

The fans have long since jumped on the bandwagon, but Uribe's moved away. The fairweather fans called him up the other day. "I'd like to see you hit and throw, if you don't mind." Uribe replied "I'd love to fairweather fans, If I could find the time, but my new team's a hassle and the 3b is hurt, but it's sure been nice talking to you fans, its been sure nice talking to you."

And as the fairweather fans hung up the phone, it occurred to them, "Uribe is just like us, He's grown to be just like us...."

Damn fairweather fans. ITS TOO LATE FOR YOU TO APPRECIATE URIBE!!!!!

It just ridiculous that people are harping on "fairweather" fans when they didn't like the Fat Uribe not playing 100% but like the Uribe that busts his ass and produces. WOW.

Who cares if he sucks a lot of the time at the plate, I love having clowns on this team and he definitely is one.

As Joe Cowley said I love Uribe for what he is, the Jack of all trades, master of none.
